“I'm a big fan of Robert Altman, and one of the things I love in 'The Long Goodby…” — Keith Maitland

I don't think anyone is pro-school shooting.

I read Pamela Colloff's oral history about the campus shooting, '96 Minutes,' when it was first published, and my wheels immediately starting turning toward making a film and making it an animated re-telling.

Honestly, I don't think that the policies and issues surrounding guns will be easily figured out in our country, but we need to take a close look, and we need to have a conversation around those issues.

I love working with rotoscopic animation because under the incredible handpainted artwork are real actors and real human performances.
